Rainbows have fascinated people for ages, and are pretty to look at. Some people pretend to believe that there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. You can only make a rainbow if there is some sunshine. So don't try this on a cloudy day.

To make a rainbow you need:
  • a shallow pan, such as a cake pan
  • some water
  • a mirror
  • sunlight

Directions
  1. Fill the pan halfway with some water.
  2. Place the pan of water in some sunshine/
  3. Angle the mirror in the water. Move it around until it reflects the sunlight back up through the water and on to a wall. Voila! A rainbow!
